Self arising impressions
-
I was observing my thoughts yesterday, when I came to this rather alternative way of seeing thingsÂ….
__________________________
When we interact with the world and others, are we really engaging the external environment or are we really just interacting with our thoughts and ourselves?
A scenario to illustrate:
Alex sees a fat man on the street. He thinks this guy is really fat; he must be living a very fortunate life. Whether the fat guy is really living a fortunate life, we will never know. But to Alex, it is true at the moment he conjures the ‘judgement’.
My opinion is that all vision, impressions are self-arising. The ‘external’ is because it is. The external is really not directly related with the thoughts that arise. The thoughts that arise are self-aware interpretations of the ‘external’. Therefore all judgments must originate from within oneself. When we dislike someone, do we really dislike the person or are we disliking the image of the person that arises in the mind.
Looking outwards to include other ‘points’ of self-awareness/consciousness, we see that all are just consciousnesses self-awaring of themselves! This is quite hard to explain and I am not sure whether I am getting it accurately. The individual points of self-awareness’s interpretation of the external are ‘tinted’ with the karmic patternings that were inherited. They (the consciousnesses) see through their own lenses of karmic conditioning.
When viewing a single object, three individuals will have 3 different views/interpretations. But none of the views is the TRUTH. They only reflect images of the TRUTH.
So… what allows ‘points of awareness/consciousness’ within an environment or world to ‘understanding’ one another. It is ‘cultural conditioning’ and a fairly common/standardized set of system of beliefs that binds and creates the impression of interaction. We literally live in a huge belief system, confined within our thoughts and conditions!
Looking at another level above, we see that all self-awarenesses are different ‘angle’ of ONE source focusing on different directions. -
tat's why each of us are different... makes life more interesting mah

Merry Meet Again Longchen,
The "TRUTH" is omnipresent & its " Non-Judgemental ". Again Open Heart & Mind in One's perception is essential for any "Awareness" & "Ascension"! "Expression" is the "Reflection" & "Mirror" of One's Soul... Since the Dawn of Millenium & Aquarian Age, Alot of Energies are shifting, Strange Natural Phenomenons are occuring & I feel alot of "Awakenings" are happening globally & it is strong in Singapore...Perhaps is a good sign for Mankind.. Thanks for your wonderful post...
Blessed Be,

How one was brought up, the values that media and society broadcasts, previous experiences, and alot more other factors, all affect the way a person thinks and perceives any situation... How then a person reacts to the situation is determined by what he/she thinks of it, in turn affecting how the situation responds to him/her...Originally posted by longchen:I was observing my thoughts yesterday, when I came to this rather alternative way of seeing thingsÂ….
